There are some moments in life we don’t choose: moments that arrive uninvited, wrapped in discomfort, uncertainty, or even fear. For me, one of those moments came in the form of preparing for a shoulder replacement surgery. As part of that process, my doctor ordered an MRI. If you’ve ever had one, you already know, […]

Let Me Tell You About the Somersault I Refused to Do
Here’s a quick story from when I was in elementary school. In gym class, we had a gymnastics unit every year, and I loved it. I was the girl who couldn’t wait for that week to arrive. I enjoyed jumping over the pommel horse, carefully balancing on the balance beam, and pulling myself up on […]
Do It Scared Anyway
Several years ago, I sat at a friend’s kitchen table with two cups of tea, open notebooks, and hearts full of dreams too big to whisper.

Does Your Faith Need A Refresh?
Do you remember what it was like when you first gave your life to Jesus? If your experience was anything like mine, you probably could not get enough of Him – eager to study your Bible, happy to memorize scripture, could not wait to get to church, or tell someone else about Jesus. We were […]
Are You Wearing Your Faith Shoes?
When I moved from Georgia to South Carolina several years ago, one of the first things I had to do was to get a new driver’s license. I never looked forward to going to the DMV but this time, the process ended up being pretty quick and painless. After filling out the forms, the only […]
3 Keys To Living A Victorious Life
The victorious Christian life is the life that’s lived, by faith, in a moment-by-moment surrender to God. The good news for us as believers and followers of Christ is that we already have victory because of what our Savior did for us on the cross. But even though we have the victory, that doesn’t always […]
